Of course, you likely have never had that issue as I am sure you drive safely and to the requirements of the law (just saying). This way you not only know it is there, but generally immediately know where to visually look for the source vs panicking and looking in all directions. It also offers the same great arrow LEDs that light up to tell you which direction it is sensing the alert from.

It is incredibly easy to read, offers a full range of colors, and brightness can be controlled either manually or set to auto. That doesn’t take away from the great screen though. We obviously haven’t seen this yet with this model since we have only been using it for so long, but since the screen likely hasn’t seen much of a change, it will likely happen over time. It isn’t a deal breaker, but it is noticeable as a darkened area when no digits are being displayed. Based on our experience with the original model, it mostly affects the speed readouts to the left (and of those, mostly the blue box for some reason).
And yes, these do suffer from burn-in over time (it’s kind of hard to avoid this with OLED). While also making it incredibly easy to attach and remove the detector from the mount (in case you want to store it somewhere out of sight while parked or need to transfer it to another vehicle). Something that offers a much better point of attachment to the window vs the previous mounts the company uses. It still makes use of the same great magnetic mount with a large suction cup. Beyond that, there wasn’t anything on the body of the detector that has changed. That and the top section features some color tweaks that allow the button labels to pop more with the eyes. Some of it could be due to the supply chain issues while allowing the company to work on enhancing anything that didn’t quite land the way it wanted with the original release. The new MK II really is the same model with some hardware changes inside. So we figured it would be a whole lot of the same as the shift from the 9500i to the 9500ix and it looks like we pretty much hit the nail on the head. The company is known for making various enhancements to current models without necessarily developing a completely new series. The original model has been a total godsend compared to some of the previous options that have been suffering from IVT (in-vehicle technologies) that trigger false alerts. With it, comes some hardware changes and better filtering, which is always helpful since more and more cars are picking up built-in technologies that make use of radar to make driving safer.Ī few of us have the original 360c in our vehicles and have had a lot of time with it these past few years. The new model promises some new enhancements to make your experience on the road a little more friendly. On a few, the filters can be updated to meet new threats.ĭetectors with GPS also warn of red light and speed cameras.We have been driving around with Escort’s new and improved flagship, the Escort MAX 360c MK II Radar Detector, to see how it compares to the original model. High-end models have filters to limit false alarms from BSM radar. Without GPS, expect frequent false alerts. The best models have GPS to lock out door-opener radar. In town, radar-controlled door openers are usually to blame. On the highway, many are caused by Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM, or lane-change-warning) radar on nearby cars. Like the MAXcam 360c, the Escort Passport Max 360c has antennas front and rear, with arrows that point toward the threat.įalse alarms are the #1 consumer complaint about radar detectors. The second forward-facing antenna is to amp-up range.
The Escort Redline 360c boasts three radar antennas-two front, one rear-and arrows that tell whether the threat is in front or back. It has front and rear antennas with arrows that point to the threat.
The Escort MAXcam 360c is unique: a high-performance detector with a built-in high-res dashcam. Listed in descending order by price, here are the best radar detectors we've tested. But only a few radar detectors deliver the range to spot radar soon enough. Long range can mean the difference between getting nailed and driving ticket-free.
